A MiSchiey0uS Pet Bear.
Youths Companion

Misky was the name of pet bear
which some Russian officers presented to
DR.. Guillemard, when that gentleman was
cruising, on board the Marchesa, in the
waters around Kamschatka. He was not
fully grown at the time, but he had de Il.
veloped capacity for mischief that en-
titled him to the consideration which a.
bear receives. 1t is satisfaction to
learn that he was shipped to England,
and found a new home in the Geological
Gardens.
Misky, though a great favorite with
every one, was perhaps not altogether q
source of unmixed pleasure to US. To an
unsuspecting visitor, the sight of him
bearing down at lose trot to investigate
matters was anything but comforting,
and it was in vain for US to tell our
guests that it was "only his fun"
A gallant lieutenant coming on board
one day in full dress proved too great
a emptation for bruin, who Immediately
seized him b. the coat-tails. 1t was
found impossible to make the bear let 90
until the discomftted officer had reduced
himself to his shirt-sleeves, when, de-
lighted with his success, the offender
shuffled Off
ne was apparently almost indifferent
to pain. A smell of burning being one
day discovered forward, one of the crew
proceeded to investigate the cause, and
found Misky standing upright on the
top of nearly red hot steve engaged in
stealing cabbages from a shelf above.
He was growing in an undertone, and
standing first on one leg and then on the
other, but he nevertheless went on slowly
eating, needless of tae fact that the soles
of his feet were burnt entirely raw.

A Bad Year for Spectators
NeWsOrleans Picayune

The year 1887 will be set down in COM
mercial annals as a very bad one for
speculators. 1t is true there are several
months to ojrun on yet, bat the record can
scarcely be such as to bring up the aver
age to any favorable point. In fact it
may be claimed even that the disasters of
this year have been SO numerous and so
great as to have very beneficial effect
upon spectators for many years to come.
The wheat deal at Chicago, the coffee
deal at New YORK, and the hull move
ments in the cotton market inflicted en-
ormous losses upon most of the individ-
uals and firms who originated or en-
glneered the operations to advance prices
And now another great wheat speculation
has come to grief on the Pacific coast
A clique endeavored to corner the wheat
market in San Franciaco, and succeeded
In running the price up to the most ex-
travagaat figures. The high rates as
usual brought wheat from every hole and
corner of every country, and the bulls
were finally so overloaded that they broke
down, and the corner collapsed. 1t is
said that the Bank of Nevada
and the millionaire, John w. Mackey
were the real hackers of the bulls, but
even their great resources proved in,
adequate to withstand the pressure Of the
heavy tenders of wheat. The deal, like
our New Orleans cotton corner a few
years ago, seems to have proven a los
ing game all around. Both bulls and
bears have suffered, and the call board
has adjourned indefinitely to allay a
panic and facilitate compromise.

\ London Theatre Burned-over lC0 Lives
Lost,
LONDON, Sept. 5.-The theatre at
Exeter took fire this evening during the
performance Of "Romany Rye" The
occupants of the pit, after an awful
struggle, escaped, but many of them
greatly injured. There was only one
exit from the gallery sud the crush there
was terrific. Scores were troddeu under
foot and suffocated. A fire escape was
brought to a window and many inside
were rescued. Sixty corpses have been
removed. The mortality is estimated at
one hundred.
later dispatch states that
$50 BODIES HAVE BEEN RECOVERED.
They are almost unrecognizable. Thirty
of the injured survivors have been taken
to hospitals. The fire burned through
out the night. The search for the
bodies proceeds slowly. In many
cases every shred of their cloth
ing is burned Off and their bodies
look black and raw. There are
various reports as to the origin of the
fire. 1t is only certain that the flames
broke out in the scene shfters' depart
ment. Those who escaped say that the
special exit was promptly opened. The
fire brigade arrived five minutes after the
breaking out of the flames, but the
efforts of the firemen were without
effect.
A telegram from Exeter at O'Clock
this morning, says that the fire is under
control. Only the walls of the structure
are standing. People distracted with
anxiety are standing about the streets in
the neighborhood of the theatre in search
of friends who attended the perfor-
nance last night. The hospitals are
besieged by anxious inquirers for
friends. Twenty badly burned persons
who were admitted to the hospitals died
few moments after they were received.
The majority of the victims were men
and boys. About twenty women were
burned.
The structure was the Royal theatre.
1t was built after the latest designs and
was elaoorately finished, being consider
ed one of the prettfest in the kingdom.

THE OMAHA TRACT.

The Company Get an Innocent Looking Bill
Passed and Sell Their Lands to Iumbermen
Settlers Greatly Disappointed Suits
Likely.
EAu CLAIRE, Wis, Sept. 5.-The ex.
citement of Saturday, incident 10 the re-
ceipt of orders at the local land office IN
open To settlement the indemnity lands
OF the Omaha and the Wisconsin Cen.
trail Railway companies. has been great
ly intensified to-day by the alleged dis
covery that the former company has, by
the aid of an innocent appearing hill
passed at the last session of congress
forever placed sill Of its indemnity lands
beyond the reach of home-seekers. The
bill IN question provided that purchas.
ers OF said lands should be protected
IN case of the company being eventually.
deprived OF the grant by allowing the
railroad company to pay the government
price OF Sl2S per acre at the local land
offices. Il now appears that the bill,
purporunS to be drawn in the exclusive
interest of the settler, was ,rotfen
through solely for the purpose of giving
the railroad company chance to dis
pose of its lands before the expected
order OF restoration could be made, and
men of this city who are sup
posed to know the inside facts state
that not an acre of the valuable railway
lands within this district, in which the
Omaha company was interested, remains
unsold. The company will now, if the
above statements are correct, pay the
pal5ry sum of Sl.2S per acre ana She
lumber kings, who are said TO have pur-
chased all the timber lands. will have ab
solute title to what should have been the
heritage of the people. Trouble and
litigation will likely follow if these state.
ments are verified. Great indignation
and sore disappointment are expressed
on all sides.
